Each week on the Jack Vita Show, Jack sits down for an exit interview with the most recent eliminated contestant from NBC's Deal or No Deal Island. This week, he speaks with the eighth contestant eliminated, 24 year-old Wood River, Illinois native, Dickson Wong.
Dickson created an alliance on day one with four-time Survivor player Parvati Shallow and two-time Australian Survivor contestant David Genat. They called themselves "The Family". The Family was targeted by just about everybody else on the Banker's Island, tracing back to the first episodes of the season. With Parvati and David winning safety most of the time, Dickson was targeted early and often. He played the banker in Episode 4, collecting the largest total in DONDI history. Earning a good deal, Dickson blindsided Storm.
Dickson skated by in the following weeks, but in Episode 9, he finally ran out of lives. David selected Lete to play at the Banker's Temple. Lete secured a good deal and sent Dickson home.
Jack chats with Dickson about his strategy and gameplay. Why did he choose to align himself with two of the show's biggest threats? Is there anything he would have done differently, if given another chance? He also shares some new, behind-the-scenes information about some things that happened on the Banker's Island that weren't shown on television, and what role they played in the story. Later, Dickson gives a rundown on his favorite baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals, as they prepare for the coming season! How does Dickson think the Redbirds will fare in 2025? All this, and much more, only on the Jack Vita Show!
